    MauraRN replied to vero22fox's topic in Online Distance Learning

    MauraRN replied to Leo2's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yeah!!!!!! You did it! I love the analogy of trained performance animals. That is exactly how I felt. I would not have made a very good actress either. But you passed. It is a great feeling, isn't it....

  11. Tipped?

    MauraRN replied to Lunah's topic in Emergency

    MauraRN replied to Lisa1980's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Caveat to my previous post: I tested under the older tests, is the exam that you failed a Life Span G&D? If not, disregard my previous entry. I keep forgetting that the Concepts Exam have changed...

  18. passing NC

    MauraRN replied to swater's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I would suggest using Lisa Arends and Studygroup 101 as supplements of what you need to know. Depending on what kind of nursing you are currently practicing, you may get by with a skills manual and a...
